This is close enough to reality that I'm irritated.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Close enough? Ma dude, Logitech really wanted to do this shit, but has to backpedal after getting massive flak.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 6 days ago

I didn't believe you so I googled it and you are correct. For fuck sake...

Do not read aloud from a book that summons demons. Not even as a joke.

Well, that's the dumbest thing I've read in a while. I have a Trackman from 2004 that's still plugging along, no subscription software updates required. If your stuff isn't shit, it lasts forever anyways.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

I have a mouse that plugs into a COM port as my 286 doesn't have USB or PS/2. I'm not entirely sure how old it is, but I'd be surprised if it post dates 1990

Anyway, good luck making a forever mouse when the main cause for replacing mouses is their connector being out dated

My current led mouse has been going for 10 years with no signs of slowing down, so take that sub and stuff it

Oh god oh no I used my last click now I can’t select a plan

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes you can! Only $0.10 per additional click!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And how will I click that? Oh, it's automatic! For our convenience!

It's all fun and games, until it becomes real and people buy it, then all competitors align and it's the new norm.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 6 days ago (1 children)

your red pixel clicking cartridge has run out. you wont be able to click on any other pixels until you refill your red pixel clicking cartridge.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

Third party clicking cartridge detected. Please purchase a supported cartridge from Logitech, or our partnered retailers.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 days ago

Business idea: The mouse manufacturers play the middle man in the click economy. Users can add an extra "click safety" package for $3,99/month, which prevents them from clicking on ads/misleading content. "Good" and "ethical" advertisers can get in touch with the "business communication" office of the mouse manufacturers to buy exception deals, because "their ads are okay"

☹️ but i cant click to subscribe.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

You can, but it's 10 cents a click!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Just buy a second mouse. C'mon dude, it's like you're not even trying to pay!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

It’s a meme now. Give it a few years and it’ll be more than a meme.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago (2 children)

One man's meme is another monster's inspiration

Living in 2024, I'm not even sure if this is a joke or not. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a subscription for damn oxygen soon. Oh, wait, that's taxes!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

It's only partially a joke. I can't remember who but some company was bragging about their subscription based mouse they had in the works.

I can navigate with keyboard shortcuts.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, you are out of keyboard clicks.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'll just use my graphics tablet.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I'm sorry, you're out of graphics.

It's a good thing that market is so saturated that there'd always be a cheap uncomplicated mouse with all your features, unless you're some sort of MMO mouse person.

That said, a company can probably still sell this to the government with enough lobbying. Those chumps love wasting cash on subscriptions they don't need (looking at you, Adobe Cloud).

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's why they'll make it so Windows requires your mouse to have official Microsoft drivers for compatibility.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

Hahaha, Windows, lol.

Vim users: *entirely unaffected*

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They won't even see the ad because they can't get out of Vim.

I've managed to pay under $20 for all I can click mice. They last more than a year typically. Even with tariffs, I'm getting a chinese mouse, and y'all can f the f off.

Nah, I already got the 24,99 family plan that includes 500 premium clicks every month. I just hope they don't follow through with their crackdown on account sharing.

How do I click an option when my clicks are already used up? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Tab over to it and hit Enter

The image is of a Logitech MX master. But yes the meme is very HP coded.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is why you do what I do and use a trackball.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

I've had mine since 2004. I've replaced the cord 3 times, and designed a 3D printed replacement scroll wheel for it. It's still going strong.
